This elections was never subtle, when in 4am in 4th of november 5 states stopped counting their votes at the same time while Trump was winning, and then slowly found enough votes for Biden to win.
Right now? Nothing.
Stopped counting for the night. Moreover, what you refer to was actually to some extent expected because of a combination of Trump's politicization of mail-in ballots (resulting in Democrats being much more likely to vote by mail and Republicans being much more likely to vote in person) and the fact that in-person ballots are counted before mail-in ballots. Which is to say that the first ballots counted were always expected to overwhelmingly skew towards Trump, while the last ballots counted were always expected to skew overwhelmingly towards Biden. This possible outcome was literally predicted months ago, and a distinctly similar scenario was actually seen on a smaller scale back in June.
I find it amusing that your first line already belies the flimsiness of the argument you so desperately want to believe. "is not necessarily a sign of rigging, but it is often assumed to be so." Moreover, let's actually look at the context for a minute. What your quote is explaining is a "Delay in Announcing Results". And you're implying that this took an inordinately long time? The results were published as they were coming in! And as the very quote notes: "But the official process takes time, especially in countries with poor communications, and the introduction of modern electronic transmission systems has not necessarily helped", and let's take a closer look at the part you curiously exised:"Vote rigging: How to spot the tell-tale signs
Elizabeth Blunt, who witnessed her first African election in Nigeria in 1979, looks at how to spot the tell-tale signs of possible rigging.www.bbc.com
Finally something that is not necessarily a sign of rigging, but it is often assumed to be so.
Election commissions, particularly in Africa, can appear to take an inordinately long time to publish official results.
This is not helped by local observer networks and political parties who, tallying up the results sent in by their agents on mobile phones, have a good idea of the result long before the more cumbersome official process is completed.
But the official process takes time, especially in countries with poor communications, and the introduction of modern electronic transmission systems has not necessarily helped.
...
In that particular case the results eventually had to be transmitted the old fashioned way; placed in envelopes and driven down to the capital under police escort.
"
Literally Africa-tier.
So not only does this describe very different circumstances, the point of this section was that such delays can easily be false positives.
What's my argument here, then?
Why does the time it takes to tally votes during a pandemic matter?
I would not have a high opinion of my country's elections if my vote was stored on USB-sticks that get easily lost and found.
One anti-Biden cheated idea for why he "won" and down ballot, Democrats got clobbered? People like mixed party government. Throw out Biden votes, maybe Republicans down ballot would suffer. Or not. Be interesting to see what happened.
It's called election day because that's when people go to the polling station to vote, not the day the election result is announced.
Basically no fraud is going on. It's just a load of people refusing to accept the reality in front of them because they don't like it and reaching at ever more extravagant fantasies when the more credible ones collapse.
Release the Kraken!!!!
It does look controversial:
